sharkyvilla Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Foster always seems a bag of nerves to me. Talented, but I think I'd prefer Given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaRoy Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Have to say I think Given would be a rubbish signing.Much prefer Foster Me too Rubbish is a bit harsh, for a player who has been top class for City, Newcastle and Ireland when not injured. Got more ability and cheaper than Foster, just you'd get more years out of the Foster than Given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knoppy1987 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Given. A rubbish signing. Ha. Where have some of you been the past 10-15 years? So when we signed Brad Friedel that was also a rubbish signing obviously. The fecal matter on this forum is uncontrollable at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry'sboots Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Have to say I think Given would be a rubbish signing.Much prefer Foster Me too I comfort myself with the facts that: 1. I assume our medical staff (maybe this will be the newly acquired Dr McGuiness) will be satisfied that Shay's shoulder is now sorted. 2. As such we will get three to four years out of a very good keeper. 3. He will be retiring just as Siegrist will be 22-23 and ready to take over first team duties (at least until Citeh take an interest in him!)

HolteExile Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Have to say I think Given would be a rubbish signing.Much prefer Foster Wouldn't say Given would be a bad/rubbish signing, but would much prefer Foster. The latter would mean we have the GK position sown up for the forseeable. The Given deal would feel more like the Friedel one. Good player, but on a downward curve and the clock is ticking from the get go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good player, but on a downward curve and the clock is ticking from the get go. What's the longest players stay at a club these days anyway? We'd probably get as many years from Given as we would Foster, if not more. Foster's supposed to be a crock as well, Colin Tattum reckons Blues could barely get him on the pitch towards the end of the season and there are serious concerns there.
